What is Reflexology

Reflexology
is a deeply relaxing and energising holistic therapy, which treats the person as
a whole rather than just the symptoms.It is based on the principle that the body is divided into ten equal and
vertical zones on the feet and hands. The body is often in a state of
imbalance, particularly after illness, injury or stress, blocking vital energy
pathways, preventing the body from functioning effectively.The aim of reflexology is to release any
blockages and restore the free flow of energy and blood circulation to the
whole body.To achieve this, specific
techniques using thumbs and finger are applied to reflex areas in the feet or hands which correspond to tissues, organs and systems throughout
the entire body.Stimulating these
reflexes encourages the body to heal itself, restoring and maintaining natural
equilibrium, as well as promoting relaxation and a general sense of well being.
